Chapter 183 The Might of the Uyu Clan

Since Ni Dongmei had said that his spiritual root was just a pipe dream, Fang Yue could only assume that he was somehow related to the Yeyue clan.

At least he wasn't a complete blank slate.

Letting Ma Ling'er go back in Mo Village was a huge mistake!

At the time, Fang Yue hadn't considered the problems that Ma Ling'er would cause.

If Ma Ling'er returned to the Uyu clan, and, as a member of the royal family, led a group of ghouls to attack, he wouldn't be able to withstand them.

Therefore, he still needed to ask Lord Han about this matter, to see if things were as serious as he thought.

"Are we really not killing Ma the Blacksmith?"

Hua Wuye also approached and asked, as she deeply hated traitors and couldn't wait to chop off Ma the Blacksmith's dog head.

"Keeping him alive allows us to extract more information. I've checked, and Ma the Blacksmith really is just a mortal, with the strength of an ordinary martial artist."

"But he said he's from the Uyu clan! That's a ghoul! How could he only have this much strength!"

The Blood Hunter also rode over on his horse and said, "I asked him, and according to what he said, his strength was crippled after he was exiled. This body was built up over the past ten years. In other words, as I understand it, although he's a ghoul, he's possessed a human, and lived in this body for ten years!"

Fang Yue and the others' expressions changed slightly upon hearing this. "Ten years of possession? Where does the lifespan come from? How do they survive? Why doesn't the body decay?"

"The lifespan of a ghoul cannot be viewed from a human perspective, and I don't know the specifics. Ma the Blacksmith said he could live for ten years, but refused to say anything else."

"Refusing to cooperate?" Fang Yue's eyes flashed with a cold light.

The Blood Hunter shook his head slightly. "It's useless. He's already realized that Ma Ling'er is still alive and knows his own value. He's started to refuse to answer any questions."

"Then kill him!" Hua Wuye said, a murderous aura rising in her heart.

"...Don't rush. If he's not willing to talk, we'll find a way to make him talk when we need to."

Right now, Ma the Blacksmith had already revealed enough information, and there was nothing else to ask for the time being.

The group quickly dragged Ma the Blacksmith back to the village.

The villagers were talking about this scene.

Everyone was looking at Ma the Blacksmith being tied behind a horse and dragged along the ground in shock.

"Is that... Ma the Blacksmith?"

"What happened? Why are they treating Ma the Blacksmith like that?"

Amidst the discussions, Fang Yue gave Lin Ling and the others a look. The latter sighed, left the group, and quickly went to tell everyone that Ma the Blacksmith was a traitor to the village.

"What?!"

"Impossible! Ma the Blacksmith is my brother, a ten-year-old buddy. How could he betray the village!"

"Yeah, yeah! Captain Lin Ling, is there some mistake here!"

The scene was in an uproar, and no one believed that Ma the Blacksmith, who had been in the village for ten years, would be a traitor to the village.

It wasn't until Lin Ling explained things that the crowd reluctantly accepted the fact, but they were still a bit dazed.

"I'll go lock up Ma the Blacksmith." Hua Wuye separated from the group, took out the iron box, gently rubbed it, and seemed to be lost in thought.

Fang Yue was quite curious about what was inside the iron box, but Hua Wuye didn't mention it, so he didn't feel comfortable asking. After all, it seemed to be a matter between the Hua family's main and branch families...

After letting the others disperse, Fang Yue arrived at Han Manor.

It seemed like a long time ago since he had last come to Han Manor.

Fang Yue looked at the familiar mansion and couldn't help but sigh.

He entered the mansion with practiced ease, waved for the stewards not to follow, and came to the courtyard where Lord Han had previously been in seclusion.

"Lord Han, I'm back. I have something I'd like to ask you."

In a flash, Fang Yue appeared in Lord Han's secret cultivation chamber.

Lord Han, who was sitting on the ice bed, slowly opened his eyes.

"Back from Mo Village?"

"Yes!"

"Late Houtian second class... your strength has improved quickly."

Lord Han's eyes held a hint of praise.

Normally, a martial artist would need years to advance from Houtian third class to Houtian second class.

But Fang Yue was doing it in days.

Moreover, it wasn't just Fang Yue who was like this. As long as the players had encounters similar to Fang Yue's, could frequently kill high-intensity ghouls, obtain attribute upgrades, and then have a bit of luck to obtain the corresponding breakthrough mental cultivation method, they could also achieve the same rapid improvement in their strength and realm as Fang Yue.

Lord Han got up from the ice bed and looked at Fang Yue with a smile. "What questions do you have for me?"

"It's like this..."

Fang Yue told Lord Han about his experiences along the way, as well as the Uyu clan.

"The Uyu clan..."

Lord Han frowned. "Those are very ancient ghouls. Even I am unwilling to face such a group. I never thought they would be lurking in Guyue Village for so many years, and I never noticed."

This was also the strangest thing to Fang Yue.

Who was Lord Han?

At his peak strength, he could be called a peak Yu class!

Now, with the Night Chill entering his body, he was seriously injured and incurable, falling to half-step Yu class.

But even so, he was definitely not someone to be trifled with!

In Qing Country, spiritual roots had not appeared for a long time, and the Immortal class had almost become a legend.

Therefore, the Yu class was the peak of combat power!

Half-step Yu class was almost the same as being invincible.

At least, that's what Fang Yue thought, but Lord Han smiled wryly.

"You overestimate me too much. Half-step Yu class is still just half-step Yu class."

"As an ancient ghoul clan, the Uyu clan's methods are mysterious and unpredictable. It's normal that I couldn't see through them."

"Moreover, the Uyu clan is capable of dealing with my half-step Yu class strength!"

Ah, this?!

Lord Han's words directly scared Fang Yue. Could it be that Lord Han couldn't deal with the Uyu clan either?

"Don't panic. As far as I know, if it's a one-on-one fight, there are no more than ten members of the Uyu clan who can be my opponent."

"But if they attack in a group... I can only run for my life."

"However, from what you've said, although Ma Ling'er is a member of the royal family, her status in the Uyu clan is not that high. There shouldn't be any situations that I can't handle."

That was good, that was good.

Fang Yue patted his chest. Lord Han was really too modest.

He was so scared that he thought he was really going to have to run away this time.

"Lord Han, actually, I was just mentioning it. Ma Ling'er might not necessarily come looking for trouble."

"That may not be the case. As far as I know, the Uyu clan's royal family usually has a lot of impurities. They are monsters born from humans and ghouls. To become a pure member of the royal family, they need to remove those impurities, which is to say, the human part. To do that, the first thing they need to do is sever karma.

"Not to mention that you killed Ma Ling'er once, just the ten years she spent in Guyue Village has already established a deep karmic connection with Guyue Village.

"If she wants to sever that karma, the first thing she needs to do is destroy Guyue Village, destroy all traces of her existence as a human. Your problem is secondary."
